CPS VISIT | DANIEL CONFIRMS SOMEONE REPORTED AT SCHOOL | LILLY AND JACK SULLIVAN
When I first came across the pictures of the house Jack and Lily lived in—together with their mother, stepfather, and little sister Meadow—I can’t begin to tell you how shocked I was.

It immediately took me back to the Summer Wells case, and the condition of the yard that young kids were expected to play and run around in. The living conditions of Daniel and Mallayia’s household were not up to scratch—especially not for two little children who may be on the autism spectrum, left unsupervised, with doors that are silent and unlocked, or that the children can unlock themselves.

It’s really something that bothered me from day one.

I’ve got a number of questions as to whether CPS was ever involved with the family.
Well, I have those answers for you today.

It turns out that Nova Scotia’s Child Protection Agency investigated the living conditions of Jack and Lily Sullivan months before their mysterious disappearance. The case file has been reviewed by the minister responsible for child welfare.

Scott Armstrong, Nova Scotia’s Minister of Opportunities and Social Development, confirmed in an interview that the agency had a file on the children prior to their disappearance—but said it would be inappropriate for him to discuss the agency’s findings. With a police investigation underway, they don’t think it’s the right time to disclose details of CPS’s prior involvement.

Daniel Martell confirmed that a social worker with Child Protective Services visited the home several months ago. The visit was prompted by concerns that had been relayed by someone at the children’s school, and related to their developmental delays.

The children’s mother, Mallayah Brooks Murray, said she had no comment in relation to Child Protective Services’ involvement with Lily and Jack.

Daniel said that the CPS visit had nothing to do with the children’s disappearance, and that he has nothing to hide. He also stated that Mallayah had no involvement in the disappearance:

“He knows she has nothing to do with anything.”

So there we have it.
CPS was involved with this family months before the children’s disappearance.

We will most likely hear in the future what exactly their findings were—especially if this turns into a criminal investigation.
